AWI East Timor Roots Sandal distillation.
Interesting, but don't love it. May be useful for certain mukhallats. I am intrigued by the damp, broken stem/branch note in the opening. To me it gets very buttery with a bit of spice. Once, I smelled a mint note, which I thought added to the other notes and made it more complete. Haven't smelled that again though. Pleasant.Hi anwar
What do you think about this sandal oil ?
Old MysoreThank you Anwar,
I want buy sandalwood oil to blending with rose, deer musk and ambergris.
Boozy oceanic vanilla bomb this one. Lasts weeks on clothing. Creative , Innovative attar maker. Love itAmber Imperial III by Melifluence , the best so far, I feel this will definitely get better with age.
A sandal with top coppery note or top to toe woody note is to be avoided if musk is to be macerated, in my opinion.Thank you Anwar,

(Concerning on of my Al Ghaliyah blends, which had a high-pitched, almost acidic vibe)Re base: labdanum, musk isolates, patchouli, vetiver, cypriol, myrrh and more ouds. The choices are endless.
Re rose:
- I noticed that if I add rose absolutes (along with Ottos), the overall rose accord to last longer in most blends.
- adding some rose concrete might do the trick too as it has lots of wax in it. But not sure how much one can add in a blend.
- You could try adding citronellol, geraniol and rhodinol (natural isolates) to hike up rose experience further. I haven't tried with those isolates. So this is a guess on some readings.
- Civet always highlights florals - i.e. they become more easily identifiable in blends.
- Ambergris slows the speed of progression of most blends.
